Presumably the budget for anything priced in euros will be determined by the election and what follows. Dacias all round, I fear.

Link doesn't work for me. Is this that Nissan import you like, the one that looks like a V70 drawn from dictation over the phone? No, that's Nissan Stagea.

At a tangent I found myself watching a Canadian motoring show yesterday evening, bring back William Woollard if they want to liven up presentation, anyhoo they were reviewing a Genesis G90. Claimed the seats were better than anything on the market including Mercedes S class.
In summary they recommended anyone in the market for a BMW 7, Mercedes S or Audi A8 should take the big Kia out for a drive. Funnily enough residuals weren't mentioned. Canadians must have an awful lot of money to throw around or they all keep their cars until the wheels fall off.

Canadians must have an awful lot of money to throw around or they all keep their cars until the wheels fall off. Genesis is a Hyundai here, are they badging them as KIAs in Canadialand? Residuals work differently in non-UK markets. It seems that it's only here where brands like Hyundai and KIA depreciate more heavily than others. This must be just about the most badge-snobby market in the world, as exemplified my Mrs EIII's attitude. It's even more bizarre that the EIII family think Renault is a badge worth driving but Infiniti isn't, when the latter clearly sells more prestigious and luxuriously equipped cars.

Well, in their defence, while they don't actually live in Cheshire ( don't think so anyway ) they're pretty close, and in Cheshire, the women have to have sitty uppy cars with "certain" badges or, convertibles. It's the law apparently. Some break it but they soon get reported.

You're right, looking online it's definitely a Hyundai even in Canadia-land. Show got it wrong or I'm going senile.

Here in Berkcestershire/South Orcsfordshire it seems to.

Seems to be white Mokkas here, ( but we're not in the posh bit ) Imagine selling the family silver to buy one of those munters !

A Vauxhall? A VAUXHALL? ?? That's what passes for a prestige badge up there? *faints*

Have you looked at one of those new Toyota SUVs that look a bit like they've been designed by someone who's into origami? Can't remember what they're called but some seem to like them.

I don't know which one you're talking about but I wouldn't touch another Toyota plastic POS SUV again.

The new Toyota Sitty Uppy vehicle is called the CHR, which I think stands for Certain to Hit Reversing, as you can't see much out of the back of it.
